There are eight contenders for first place. Once this position has been filled there are seven possibilities for 2nd place. Once this position is assigned there are six possibities of third place. So the total possible scenarios of the first three placings in a horse race of eight are 8 x 7 x 6 = 336.

Are Morgan horses used in gaming?
By gaming I assume this means gymkana (barrel racing, pole bending, ect). A well bred Morgan can do many things. There is no reason that they couldn't be gymkana horses. There are 2 different types of Morgans. The first is the one that make the best show horses. They are fancy and have a distinct way moving. The second group are what is called "foundation" Morgans. This second group is much closer to what the breed was when Justin Morgan developed to breed in the 1800's. They are also being crossed with different breeds such as the Quarter Horse.
